Into this creative chaos came Google with its dazzling mission-"To organize the world's information and make it universally accessible"-and its much-"ed motto, "Don't be evil." In this provocative book, Siva Vaidhyanathan examines the ways we have used and embraced Google-and the growing resistance to its expansion across the globe. He exposes the dark side of our Google fantasies, raising red flags about issues of intellectual property and the much-touted Google Book Search. He assesses Google's global impact, particularly in China, and explains the insidious effect of Googlization on the way we think. Finally, Vaidhyanathan proposes the construction of an Internet ecosystem designed to benefit the whole world and keep one brilliant and powerful company from falling into the "evil" it pledged to avoid. 606 $aInternet industry$xSocial aspects 606 $aInternet$xSocial aspects 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aInternet industry$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aInternet$xSocial aspects. 676 $a338.7/6102504 700 $aVaidhyanathan$b Siva$01022369 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458666303321 996 $aThe Googlization of everything$92455865 997 $aUNINA
